From the deep cultural wellspring of the Harlem neighborhood descend into an evocative richly textured space: The century old space has been stripped to its foundational elements. Native granite schist stone walls intertwine with exposed brick, Carnegie steel beams and a hand-trowled concrete floor. Two massive rustic tables hand crafted from repurposed wooden beams salvaged from a 150 year old church center the space. Morning sunlight pours through the exterior wrought iron fence through 8 large windows allowing abstract shadow shapes to seemingly dance upon surfaces. Dangling wire caged Edison filament bulbs give a warm glow. Contemporary soft touches of drapery and furniture compliment the roughhewn bones of the space. The ~ 1000 sq. foot space accommodates up to 25 people for meetings, meals and other gatherings. A second attached room of ~500 sq. feet is available for prep, storage etc. Basic kitchen prep area is available. High Definition video projection and audio capabilities available Located three blocks from the 2/3 Express and B/C trains, a couple dozen feet from the M2 bus stop, the Up.Under is three blocks from Olmsted & Vaux's urban masterpieces Central and Morningside Parks. A block from 8th Avenue - Frederick Douglass Boulevard corridor - the south Harlem neighborhood is now dotted with cafes, restaurants and bars ranging from Marcus Samuelsson's Red Rooster & Streetbird to legendary Minton's Playhouse.
